We can all make a change. Together, we’re a union that can work to make things better, on campus and beyond. UCL is yours, so it should be what you want it to be. We’re led by students. That means you’re in charge.

We’re here to make you feel at home. All of our spaces are your spaces. We’re transforming our bars, cafes, fitness and study areas to create the places to make friends and relax. And as a not-for-profit charity, we put anything we earn into making the union better for you.

Driven by drama, sport, art or politics? Students’ Union UCL offers all sorts of ways to discover something that will become a part of who you are. Get up on stage. Be creative. Lead a movement. Push yourself further than you imagined.

University is a big, exciting place. But life isn’t always easy. We’re here to give you support when you need us, care about the things you care about, and fight for you when need someone in your corner. Our job is to make sure you feel supported every day.

Whether you’ve played cricket before or you’re a complete beginner (beginners are warmly welcomed and encouraged), we’d love you to come along and join our team. We’ve got loads of exciting opportunities coming up this term, including a TOUR to Hamburg, matches available for all players, socials and training at some of the best facilities in the world (Lord’s Cricket Ground).

Cricket is great fun and gives you an opportunity to get out and about when the stresses of work gets too much!

Your time at UCL isn’t just about your academic work! Through Students’ Union UCL and the PGA, the UCL student community has created a huge array of opportunities to take time out and get to know other students. Whether you want to relax or get active, and however much time you want to give, there’s something for everyone. And if (unusually!) what you’re looking for doesn’t exist, perhaps you’ll be the one to create it!

Above all, we want the Students’ Union to be inclusive. We want to know that we are truly open to everyone and have opportunities that can be accessed by all students, not matter who you are, where you come from or what you enjoy. That’s why we are hugely proud to have been awarded the British University and College Sport (BUCS) Take a Stand award for inclusivity in sport.

Pride in Sport

Being active can be a great way to make friends and build confidence. And there’s no place on that pitch for discrimination.

An emergency Union Council meeting (UC13x5) last night voted 7-2 in favour of the ‘Motion to ban UCLU sport (UP1414)’. The motion, which will be available online shortly, cites reasons such as safety and funding shortages in support of the ban. After an hour of debate on the issue, council were forced to a vote by the union chair. The motion passed and comes in to force with immediate effect.

The resolves of the motion are to:

(1) Disaffiliate all UCLU sports clubs with effect from the beginning of next academic year (2014-15)

The Mandy Walker Games: Annual Alumni Sports Day
